I was using the latest build 20060110 (an auto-generated setup for
windows). My dll size with or without smart-linking was around 7xx KB
and was not working with vdf 11.1, but was working in vba (office 97,
for testing) and delphi 3; both under win98.

I would go for the compiler doing good or no good dll. I recompiled
with 2.0.2 and all is working, with or without smart-linking. The
difference in size few KB: 278kb with sm, 280kb without (an both
works).
So the 2.0.2 compiler under windows is doing a better job for dll, at
least for the 'vdf 11.1' language since it was the only problematic
language.
